Swiss integration radio station Radio Blind Power values the
barrier-free usability of Fabasoft’s Folio Cloud. The organisation is
working together with Fabasoft towards the continuous improvement of
cloud applications for people with special needs.

Radio Blind Power proves that visually impaired and blind people can
work in conventional radio. Their employed software must therefore be
correspondingly accessible. Barrier-free usability is especially
important to Fabasoft. Radio Blind Power’s decision to use Folio Cloud
shows that Fabasoft, with its on-going accessibility work, is on the
right way to achieving the best possible usability for all users. All
operation elements in Folio Cloud can be keyboard-operated and are
enriched with WAI-ARIA technology so that screen reader programs can
give blind users the feeling of a desktop application – they are
informed via speech or Braille output exactly where they are and what
input is required.

Radio Blind Power also delivers feedback to the Fabasoft Usability &
Accessibility team, which is implemented in Folio Cloud via monthly
product updates. Team leader Mario Batusic has been working in the field
of web and software accessibility for 17 years and is pleased about the
partnership: “Being blind myself, I look forward to receiving even more
feedback from other visually impaired Folio Cloud users. Through their
experiences, regular evaluations of new features and improvement
suggestions we are sure to bring the accessibility level of our product
to an even higher level.”

Fabasoft is now an official Radio Blind Power sponsor. The collective
goal is the continuous optimisation of Folio Cloud’s accessibility. “We
look forward to this partnership and to further professionalising our
business.” – Dominik Hofstetter, Managing Director, Radio Blind Power.
